I see Harden still pissed about that dunk that wasn’t scored

u/acciopizza_ avatar

I thought he was going to come back with a vengeance tonight. Not so far, but still a whole half left at this point.

u/CorneaBoss avatar

Yeah that vengeance from being down 25 to winning the game was sweeeet

Harden can take a shove straight to the chest and his head didn't snap back.

I find that very interesting.

Would make more sense with Harden thinking about snapping his head back as the ref touches him imo

u/K9Marz919 avatar

Murray shoved him with all his might and Harden moved like one inch backwards

Turns out he is very strong.

I had no idea.

u/so-cal_kid avatar

Dude's midsection/core is THICC but in a good way. There's a reason the dude never gets knocked off balance on his drives.

His man-boobs are incredible

Dem titties make me feel safe

That's because Harden works out on a Core Blaster Extreme. That is by far, the best way to strengthen your core. This machine… You sit on a stabilizer ball, you put your feet into the power stirrups, you reach up and you grab onto the super-rod, and you twist, and you twist, and you twist. It strengthens your entire core. Your back core, your arm core, your… The Marine Corps actually uses it. I think that’s how they got “core.”

I nearly got swayed into wanting this gym equipment

u/the_second_cumming avatar

I'm pretty sure he uses the AssPounder 4000

u/SnuggleMuffin42 avatar

Is this a real comment or...? Do you twist but also jerk or just twist?

He gets so many free throws because he's so god damn strong. Defenders have to foul the shit out of him because they bounce off of him when he drives to the paint the same way Bron and Giannis bumps bodies

strong

Thicc

That's what a 50 pound weight difference looks like. They're basically the same height but Murray is listed at 170 pounds to Harden's 220.

u/blueberryy avatar

Jeez Murray's lean as hell. Same weight but I'm JJ Barea's height

That’s interesting because I’m 220 as well so I must look just like harden.... that’s how it works right?

What's crazy is he didn't "accidentally" elbow a defender after the shove. I thought that was just how his body reacted?

Bruh he ate that push...which makes it even more infuriating when he gets slightly nudged and starts flailing like he got hit by a sniper round

u/EFTFan avatar

Considering how blind the refs are (KD out of bounds, dunk that wasn't counted), can you really blame him for making sure the refs see the foul? I would slap the refs with the foul if I could.

“Bump”?? Harden pushed him deliberately...

u/Oddblivious avatar

Right... He saw him and deliberately walked into Murray

Edited

Murray wanted this. I recognize that stand in front of* the ball move... Happens a lot when I play.

Edited

In fairness, only because Murray walked in his way on purpose, after he fouled Harden

u/belizeanheat avatar

Who was basically straddling the ball for no reason. I rarely defend Harden but this is 100% on Murray.

u/CpE_Wahoo avatar

"100% on Murray" because Harden couldn't walk around him?

Neither are completely at fault, but let's not pretend these aren't fucking adults that are both starting shit for little reason.

u/Littlekidlover66 avatar

Murray was blocking the ball that needed to be inbounded. It should've been a delay of game to begin with. Harden didnt just shove him for no reason.

Harden is a unit. Murray also looks quite light framed, at least in comparison

i think refs have an unconscious bias against big / solid players.

if Harden didn't flail, he wouldn't get the calls on what are often legitimate fouls

think of Shaq in his prime. dude got mauled down low. a players' body absorbing illegal contact doesn't negate a foul. hell even the hack-a-shaq had to be super exaggerated to make sure refs didn't miss it

Yeah some of Ben Wallace's one-on-one defense on Shaq was just dropping his entire arm down on any part of Shaq's body he could reach.

Saw that a bit with Kawhi last year, he finishes through contact so well that he missed out on a lot of foul calls because he could get hit pretty hard and still finish

u/Sucmi666 avatar

The replay showed a clear foul on Murray, who grabbed Harden's arm to free up the ball for that layup. So he had reason to get mad, and that wasn't the only play they got away with contact especially in the first half.

Murray didn't even touch the ball lol. He literally just grabs harden to get the "steal", hate playing against defenders like that in pickup

Gosh. This one time we made it to church league championship and it was legit that. 5 rangy guys coming from every direction and just hip and shoulder checking me and smacking away my fore-arm to free the ball.

I was fuckin livid, I got T'd up. Fuck those guys. They definitely didn't even belong to that church!

He bounced off of him more like. Harden clearly thought he’d push him off and there wouldn’t be repercussions. That’s why he looks so surprised

Nah man... Watch the replay from other angle. That's a normal push, Dejounte clearly wanted this.

Between that, the occasional gang signs throughout his career, and whatever happened to Moses Malone's kid, I think it's very likely that he's fucked some people up before and is comfortable in that arena.

Murray was literally intentionally walking slowly and blocking Harden’s path to the ball lol.

Yeah I honestly like this from harden Murray was being cocky

Harden wasn't even mad at Murray coming up the court. He was looking disappointed in the refs.

yeah, you're up 15 in the first and you got a nice uncontested breakaway layup*. get back on defense, there's a lot of game left.

Each player was assessed a technical foul. Harden went to the line and made both free throws.

He didn't and he shot his first free throws at 4:53 mark in the 3rd quarter. Just clearing this up for any impressionable anti-Harden party members who didn't watch the game.

Lol you nailed it, I literally read that guys comment and didn’t question it at all
